everything but the girl

The birds from Cinderella fixing up her dress, with some weird perspective stuff going on.
Speaking of Cinderella, while I was reading friendsfriends recently I saw a mash-up that I think was a gif of Zac Efron in the Bet On It scene from HSM2 with all the animals from either Snow White or Sleeping Beauty added in, but I can't find it using googlesearch - does anyone know what I'm talking about?

My interviews with Kripke, Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund, Misha and Jim from Comic Con are now up on AcedMagazine here - it is chock full of spoilers and I will be posting a de-spoilered version shortly, but I've taken one totally spoiler-free bit and put it on YouTube here - it's Misha talking about running for neighborhood council in LA a few years back.

Speaking of politics, how much love do I have for the images from Burbank when Bill Clinton returned from North Korea with Laura Ling and Euna Lee? I love it when diplomacy works - and from all that's been said there was no quid pro quo - and talking and asking on humanitarian grounds moves the plan forward. I love it when mommies get to come home to their little girls. I love it when Bill and Al embrace - it reminds me of my "Bill & Al's Excellent Adventure" t-shirt circa 1992. Has anyone done a Boom de Yada gif/vid with those images yet? May just have to, if I ever find the time.

Busy with spn_summergen, which was going to start posting this morning but the LJ downtime made that impossible - we'll either start it up tonight or tomorrow - and busy with the kids, two of whom are home today with small ear infections, poor things. We're already on the list for the boys to get the inhaled flu vaccine next month, and may head off for some backpack-shopping tomorrow. Everyone needs a new one.

Will probably be up in Boston in October for some preview-of-the-HP-exhibition events the week before October 24 - hope to see a lot of you then! I have so much adoration for Eddie & the rest of his team at Exzhibitgroup Giltspur for the respect they have for fandom, and the love they have for the movie props and stories they're telling in their Exhibition. Eddie's presentation at Azkatraz's Keynote Lunch, and his subsequent Q&A, were true highlights of the event for me (and yes, I know I still have to do a con report on Az and Comic Con), and I highly recommend the exhibition to anyone who can get to Chicago in the next month, or Boston this winter. No, I don't know where it's going next...

My grandma just kissed Bill Clinton!
Or, technically, he kissed her! And I got a mini-glomp so I'm quite satisfied - plus, I got to talk to him a bit about how the first time I met him was at Penn back in 1992, and *he* remembered that it was April on Earth Day and omg the man's memory is amazing and he looks so slim and superhot and it was wonderful!

And on the way out I got to speak with our school superintendent Rudy Crew, who is just fantastic for the county schools, so that was an extra-amazing treat.

But nothing will compare to my grandma - who first saw a president when Herbert Hoover came to Philadelphia - getting kissed by Bill Clinton.

Wow.

ETA almost a year later - I did a self-google, and I found this. Oh, Bill! You make me so happy, no matter what you do on your own time. Always and forever
